Kick Terms of Service

This document governs user access to and use of Kick's live streaming platform, operated by Kick Streaming Pty Ltd, establishing a binding contractual relationship upon account creation or platform use. The agreement states that users grant Kick a royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, and display any content they upload or stream, and the terms authorize Kick to suspend or terminate accounts at its sole discretion for violations of platform rules or applicable law. Notably, the terms assert broad content licensing rights over user-generated material with no explicit sunset provision tied to account deletion, and the indemnification clause places significant legal defense costs on users for third-party claims arising from their content or conduct. The agreement engages GDPR and Australian Privacy Act frameworks given Kick's Australian incorporation, COPPA given age restrictions applicable to US minors, and consumer protection frameworks across multiple jurisdictions where Kick operates; users outside Australia may face ambiguity about which jurisdiction's consumer protection laws apply in practice. Compliance teams should note that the governing law clause designates New South Wales, Australia as the controlling jurisdiction, which may limit the practical enforceability of certain consumer-protective provisions in EU, UK, and US jurisdictions depending on applicable mandatory law.
